autophage customization

how do i get the autophage customization?

1. Complete the main quest (the "Artemis" questline, all the way through to choosing whether or not to go to the next galaxy).

2. Visit a Harmonic Camp (you can find these using Echo Locators, which drop semi-rarely from mirrors on Dissonant Sentinel planets or from Dissonant quadrupedal Sentinels which are often found around said mirrors) and break the seal (pretty simple, just solve the small puzzle).

3. Complete the settlement questline for "Trace of Metal". It basically involves getting the Sentinel "pet" item in your inventory and unlocking the Minotaur exocraft.

After you've done all three of these things, you should get the quest when visiting a star system randomly. Complete that questline all the way through to get your introduction to the requests. You'll have built a basic staff multitool and learned some Autophage words.

Once the questline is done, you can start doing requests normally. You'll be given a unique scanner tool that causes your normal scan to reveal Autophages in various spots. For example, drop pods will always have them around, as well as other areas. You can use navigational data to find these spots faster if you want to start finishing requests. I found drop pods the most useful because they're really easy to repair and get extra slots while you pick up all the new stuff (staff parts take up inventory slots, radiance shards take up slots, inverted mirrors, crystal hearts, etc. etc., plus all the drops from normal sentinels which you will likely end up fighting since Dissonance doesn't always override normal Sentinel status for some reason).

you have to unlocked and install the Polyphonic Core, use that go to location, then you also need the Scanner mod, scan the area, and it should be there, sometimes i think due to the range of it, you have to be close to the cargo pod to get the terminal.

Basically, yeah. You buy all of it for the Void Motes you get for requests at the terminal each group has. The selection for staves changes based on the terminal. I'm not certain, but I *think* the cosmetic selection increases as you increase rank or buy more (I think the latter) of the cosmetics?

But it could just be different per terminal. You're going to visit so many of them it really doesn't matter what expands the selection, you'll get them all eventually if you're farming them.

So nobody has answered the OP's question, which is my question too. I know how to get motes, but I want to unlock the autophage "race" in the appearance modifier without buying parts I don't plan to use. There seem to be only one set of hands and legs, and although there is one "chest", there are many "casings" - do I need the chest if I have the casings?

There are also various head coverings, which I'm guessing are separate from the "facial unit"s and I need both?

Since there's no help forthcoming, just redundant basic information, I gave up on saving time and took a shot at finding out after spending some extra time on autophage questing. Here's partial info:
* Buying the three basic parts (arms. legs, chest) was sufficient to unlock the race. I don't know if the chest was actually necessary. I don't know for certain that even two are necessary - the race was not available when I had only bought customizations, and was available after I bought all three basics.
* Everything else is cosmetic as I expected.
* The cowl/hood parts are an extra choice in addition to the head choice.
* Some base customizations are also available (so if you like the ugly jetpack you can have one), and a couple of autophage-specific choices you don't have to individually unlock. You can also use at least some capes.
